Pretty sure its the standard XCR model seven stock just been hydro dipped, looks pretty but in reality it's heavier than a standard model seven stock.Quote:

Such a shame they made it so hard for him. Had an opportunity to buy one and gutted I never did.
I really cannot see the issue with it, just make them and sell them as carbon fibre boat paddles. It's not like what he was making was capable of firing a projectile or anything.Quote:

I agree with you @GWH unfortunately the Police and politicians don’t. To make any firearm or firearm part or repair a firearm for commercial gain you need a dealers licence. Also now you need a police mail order form before shipping. The couriers were making it almost impossible to send rifles.
There is certainly room for someone to step up and do what I’d done. It’s not expensive to get set up. The most expensive item you need is a vacuum pump and then a dremel. Making molds is cheap, but time consuming and fiddly.
New member.
I don't have a Model 7, I would like to.
I would like a .260 or 7-08 but I already have A Tikka CTR in 7-08, heavier but a compact.
I recently saw a new Model 7 in 7mm-08 stainless laminate that I liked. $1500 new shop run out sale.
I can't justify the purchase but I like them.
I'm a little envious of all you Kiwis as showing your suppressors. Highly restricted in Australia but I used one in Africa.
@GWH @gimp
Could you help me out and let me know what COAL's you are getting with your M7 .223's please?
Looking at one here but unsure what the standard floorplate will give since it is blocked at the back vs. a standard m7.
Considering an MDT chasis to run AICS mags but not seen many (if any!) of these even on the interweb.
Cheers!
I'm using modified Accurate Mag AICS mags and COAL is about 67mm I think
Anyone run a pic rail on their m7’s.
I currently have the leupold 1 piece base and r8ngs with a 25mm tube scope but looking to run a vx5 on it and looking at the talleys.
Would also like the option to put the vx5 back on another gun with a pic rail, not sure about the pic rail on the m7 blocking up the ejection port though
Just back from a couple of nights away hunting. Mine is the newer M7 with the block in the back of the mag, i can measure it up and let you know max OALQuote:

No, but im after one if someone has one spare, im wanting to mount my Pard NV008 scope to my Bitsa M7 6.5Creed for an upcoming deer culling operation on private land, the owner has been hunting them hard in daylight and then with the spotlight once they became nocturnal, theres still lots of them coming out after dark but they are extremely light shy now, so two us us with NV will try to clean a few more up, mobs of 50 odd smashing his crops/grass every night.Quote:

Special order from the USA, bit of a pain but got it eventually. Had to epoxy bed for full receiver contact, but all good since.
EGW is cut properly and allows you to load the internal mag easily, does not foul ejection in any way, however it does sit higher as a result.
I'd recommend that anyone loading a flooplate should learn to load it from the bottom. You can top up the mag with the bolt closed which is a huge advantage IMHO.
See above :thumbsup:Quote:

In terms of weight etc, factory stock it would be very similar. The Bergara has a standard Rem 700 sized action, so a little longer than M7. Berg has a much better bolt release, better selection of aftermarket parts too.Quote:

Does one of the rear two holes of a four hole M7 pic rail not line up with the single hole in the rear on a 3 hole action? Ie just mount the 4 hole rail with 3 screws?Quote:

The DMZ one piece mounts which I am using now fit both ...
I've got a 3 hole Weaver rail for a Mohawk 660 you can have - pretty sure they are the same pattern (even if you just want to check whether the 3 hole works on the newer receivers).Quote:

Dragging this thread up for a bit of M7 love. New favourite bit of kit, the HS precision .308 that I liberated from @Kelton.
Kept the barrel full length on this one, and glad I did. Balances perfectly with the lightweight barrel. Leupold vx3i 2.5-8 in extra low Talleys. Tuned the factory trigger, which is actually very good. 9 shots and zeroing and load development done. Never had it that easy!

Do it! Such a good configuration for hunting this country. I doubt there’s an animal or environment that you couldn’t hunt with one. Except scrub bulls- I’d want at least the .358 for that kind of nonsense.
Mine with its first kill a few months ago,
7mm Saum, mcmillan, dpt, talleys, z6 and a triggertech. Shooting the amax 162s, has shot a few animals this year.
Only fits 2 in the mag for some reason, also tight to close bolt every now and then, apart from that it works and does the job

Iv just put this together over the past week it’s being a long week with everything else but this has kept it exciting I went to pick the rifle back up Friday and the smith cocked up the thread so had to wait on another dpt that thankfully with the rings and new mount for the bipod arrived Saturday morning . .223 chopped to 17 3/4 “ dpt can slipped a timney trigger in which took some filing off the factory stock to fit and function correctly. Everything bar the rings dpt and trigger sourced from the forum pre loved . It shot the hnf bulk Hornady 55gn ok . It hated the Belmont 55gn lapua sp (mainly miss fires) the 55gn Sierra hand loads from its previous lover and it’s 20” barrel shot tiny little bug holes even with the chop and I didn’t get to shoot the 62 63 or 65 not sure which one Sierra hand loads as we were kicked out because apparently sundays is pistol day at our range . Theirs a lot of the 55 at my local but their very expensive so I’m hoping to duplicate the accuracy with 2206h and 55 hornadys very fun we rifle
Hey @Kelton what Burris scope do have on there? Any good? Will soon look to upgrade mine.
I’d have to check in the morning mate I got it second hand off here it’s 2.5-10 fullfield IV I think with one of Burris reticles . E3 maybe? It seems lovely and clear notably heavy though reticle looks nice but iv only had one range trip with absolutely optimal light conditions so I can’t actually give you a real world real scenario opinion as yet but stay tuned in the .223 on deer thread and il update as I go . First impressions I’m happy reticle is a huge plus for me given the ranges I want to shoot no need for dials but should make for fun on longer range varmints ones validated . Burris reticle calculator seems a useful and simple toolQuote:

Hi Guys,
I have a model 7 in 223 with the x-mark pro trigger. I have tried fingering with it but remain unsatisfied with then weight of pull.
Am wondering what others have done to either lighten this trigger successfully or have you given up and gone aftermarket.
I would like to see if the factory trigger could be remedied in the first instance due to funds.
I have seen lighter firing pins. Does this change anything on the weight of pull?
